Total Mark: 40 Marks Weighting: 40% of total unit marks Students are advised that submission of an Assessment Task past the due date without a formally signed approved Assignment Extension Form (Kent Website MyKent Student Link> FORM – Assignment Extension Application Form – Student Login Required) or previously approved application for other extenuating circumstances impacting course of study, incurs a 5% penalty per calendar day, calculated by deduction from the total mark.

They currently maintain details of every piece they sell in a manual system. ‘Sydney Gifts’ has always been run by the same owner/ manager Mr Smith. Mr Smith's son has just joined the business and thinks that using a computerised system would make managing their orders, stock levels and records management easier. Currently they divide their stock into three categories furniture, china art and paintings. For furniture they store the following details current owner, approximate age, type, style, construction material, finish, condition, notes and price. For paintings they store current owner, approximate age, style, condition, notes, price, artist and medium. For china they store current owner, approximate age, style, condition, notes, manufacturer and construction material. The managers also want to be able to run sales reports at the end of every month. ‘Sydney Gifts’ also sell antiques on behalf of some of their existing customers so that they may sell the same item more than once. When this happens, they go back to the original record of that piece and record the details of the new sale price, owner etc. This is done so they can maintain the provenance of the item. It is very important to both Mr Smith's that this system is very accurate and quick to use. They would also like a better way of maintaining customer details so that a customer could tell Sydney Gifts that they are looking for a particular item. That item could be placed on a "wish list" and the customer notified when the item is located. As well as the standard attributes for an item the wish list will store the date the customer registered the item on their wish list and the top price they are willing to pay. ‘Sydney Gifts’ have many customers so that sometimes more than one customer may register that they are looking for a particular item. When at least two customers are looking for the same item it has been decided to offer the item to the customer who registered the item on their wish list first. Tasks Write answers on the following questions 1. What fact-finding methods could you use to collect information from employees at Sydney Gifts? Suggest at least three methods and explain the pros and cons of each. Modelling Exercise 1. Prepare a context diagram for Sydney Gifts System. ASSESSMENT SUBMISSION: The assignment must be submitted online in Moodle. Where additional documents need to be attached, all materials MUST be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format. Other formats (e.g., pdf or MAC file) may not be readable by markers. Please be aware that any assessments submitted in other formats will be considered LATE and will lose marks until it is presented in MS Word. No paper based or hardcopy submission will be accepted. MARKING RUBRIC: Marking Criteria Fail Pass Credit Distinction High Distinction Short Questions Answer / 30% Topics are poorly addressed; little analysis. No evidence from external research to support the case material. The discussion is descriptive and poorly sequenced. Topics are addressed to a bare minimum with some description. External research on concepts relevant to the case material is somehow obvious; the concepts are analysed to a reasonable depth. There are some inconsistencies/ weaknesses with the flow. Topics are addressed to a reasonable depth. External research on concepts relevant to the case material is adequate; the concepts are analysed quite well. There may be some inconsistencies/ weaknesses with flow. Topics and concepts are addressed in depth. External research on concepts relevant to the case material is above average; There are be minor inconsistencies / weaknesses with flow. Topic is addressed thoroughly. External research on concepts relevant to the case material is of an outstanding quality; the concepts are analysed in great depth. Very minor, if any, inconsistencies and weaknesses with flow. UCD /10% The diagrams contain incorrect notation. The solutions show a lack of understanding of the requirements of the case study. The solutions provided are vague and cannot be put into action and/or implemented. Mostly correct notation is used for the diagrams. The solutions are generally correct, but lack consistency. The input user interface captures the required data but the input mechanisms are not always the most appropriate. The solutions provided can be implemented or put into action only with a number of modications Correct notation is used for all diagrams. The required elements from the case study are present, and the solutions provided are correct. There are only minor inconsistencies and the solution can be implemented or put into action with small modications. Correct notation is used for all diagrams. All required elements from the case study are present. The solutions provided can be implemented or put into action with only very minor modications. Correct notation is used for all diagrams. All required elements are present and correct. The solutions provided are exceptional, well thought-through, and consistent. The solutions can be implemented or put into action without any modifications.

GENERAL NOTES FOR ASSESSMENT TASKS Content for Assessment Task papers should incorporate a formal introduction, main points and conclusion. Appropriate academic writing and referencing are inevitable academic skills that you must develop and demonstrate in work being presented for assessment. The content of high quality work presented by a student must be fully referenced within-text citations and a Reference List at the end. Kent strongly recommends you refer to the Academic Learning Support Workshop materials available on the Kent Learning Management System (Moodle).
